Welcome to The Anson Pratt House, a masterfully restored Federal Adams-style residence located in the historic hamlet of New Concord in East Chatham, NY. Built in 1793 atop a marble clad foundation, this architectural jewel is honored in the Library of Congress as part of the Historic American Buildings Survey. Featured in numerous architectural and design publications, The Anson Pratt House is recognized as the finest example of Adam-style architecture in Columbia County. The 4, 100-square-foot iconic residence greets you with a sweeping two-and-a-half-story original curved staircase and leads to sunlit rooms with wide-board wood floors and soaring ceilings. Historic details abound, including intricate plaster moldings, antique rim locks, hand-forged hardware, and historically correct, hand-blown wavy-glass windows. Seven fireplaces feature ornate mantels, with several in working condition. The thoughtful layout includes a corner living room, formal dining room, library with fireplace, double-height media room, powder room, and a chef’s kitchen centered around a professional La Cornue range. Upstairs, five bedrooms with Edelman leather tile floors in the primary bedroom, and three luxurious Waterworks bathrooms offer bucolic treetop views. Outside, the fully fenced, professionally landscaped grounds feature bluestone pathways and patios, state of the art LED landscape lighting, irrigated terraced gardens, and an organic vegetable patch with bluestone and ipe raised beds. The outdoor entertaining area includes a heated gunite pool with water feature fountains, a separate spa with quartzite surround, an outdoor shower, and a stone fire table. Anchoring the rear of the property, a state-of-the-art, 1, 800-square-foot period barn sits atop a three-car garage, offering endless potential. Moments from the village of Chatham, 25 minutes to Hudson and the Berkshires, and just 2.5 hours to both NYC and Boston, The Anson Pratt House is a rare chance to own a national-landmark home in museum-quality condition.
